NFL: Dolphins beat Jaguars 14-10 behind tough defense


By MARK LONG

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins won another close game with another late defensive stop. This one put them right in the middle of the AFC playoff picture.

Chad Henne completed a team-record 17 consecutive passes, Ricky Williams ran for 108 yards and a score and the Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 14-10 on Sunday.
The loss snapped Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak at home, and now the Jaguars (7-6) no longer control their own path in the wild-card race.
Miami, which won its sixth consecutive game decided by seven points or less, stopped David Garrard on fourth-and-3 with 1:20 remaining and then sacked Garrard on the final play to seal the victory.
The Dolphins (7-6) used a defensive stand to beat New England 22-21 last week.
